Second playthrough I went with a faith melee build and it was 100x easier. Of course, I was familiar with all the levels at that point.

I started off with a magic user and thought that it was pretty cake, with a little stealthiness. Of course, if anyone got close to me I died pretty quickly. Over time I built it up into a battlemage, which is really how I like to play most games. It's not too good against black phantoms, but it's pretty good as a black phantom. Also good for PvE.
